4. USE OF YOUR PRODUCT
Make sure that the tips of the flames do not spread out of the outer circumference of the pan, as
this may also harm the plastic accessories around the pan (handles etc.)
When the burners are not in use for prolonged periods, always turn the main gas control valve off.
!
Warning:
When operating the hotplate for the first time or whenever the hotplate has not been used for a
prolonged time it is necessary to eliminate any humidity which may have accumulated around the
electrical elements of the plate by operating the hotplate on its lowest setting for about 20
minutes.
• Use only flat pans and with a sufficiently thick base.
• Never use a pan with a smaller diameter than of the hotplate.
• Ensure that the base of the pan is dry before placing it on the hotplate. While the hotplate is in
operation, it is important to ensure that the pan is centered correctly above the hotplate.
• Never operate the hob without pans on the hotplate.
• The temperature of accessible parts may be high when the appliance is operating. So it is
imperative to keep children and animals out of the reach of the hotplate during and after the
operation.
• To ensure long life, the hotplate must be thoroughly cleaned with appropriate cleaning
products. To avoid rustiness and to keep them new it is recommended to rub the hotplate
lightly with tissue with a small amount of oil. Do not use a steam cleaner.
• After use, the hotplate remains very hot for a certain time, do not touch it and do not place any
object on top of the hotplate.
